Misky.

Misky was the name Of q pet bear
which some Russian officers presented
to DIR. Guillemard, when that gentle
man was cruising, on board the
Marchesa, in the waters around Kam-
schatka. He was not fully grown at
the time, but he had developed q ca.
pacity for mischief that entitled him to
the consideration which n bear receives.
1t is a satisfaction to learn that he was
shipped to England, and found a new
home in the Geological Gardens.
Misky, though a great favcrite with
every one, was perhaps not altogether a
sourc of unmixed pleasure to us. To
an unsuspecting visitor. the sight of
him bearing down at a loose trot to in
vestigate matters was anything but
comforting, and it was in vain for us to
tell our guests that it was "only his
fun"
A gallant lieutenant coming on board
one day in full dress proved too great a
temptation for Bruin, who Immediately
seized him by the coat-tails. 1t was
found impossible to make the bear let
go until the discounted officer had re-
duced himself to his shirt-sleeves,
when, delighted with his success, the
offender shuffied of.
He was apparently almost Indifferent
to pain. A smell of burning being one
day discovered forward, one of the
crew proceeded to investigate the cause,
and found Misky standing upright on
the top Of a nearly red-hot stove, en-
gagged in stealing cabbages from a shelf
above.
He was growing in an u~ndertone,
and standing first on one leg and then
on the other, but he nevertheless went
on slowly eating, needless of the fact
that the soles Of his feet were burnt en-
tirely raw.

A Worm that Eats Up Steel Rails.

The existence has just been discov-
cred of a detestable microbe which
feeds upon iron with as much gluttony
as the phylloxera upon the vine.
Sometime ago the greatest c~onsterna-
ton existed among the engineers en-
ployed on the railway at Hagen by the
accidents occurring always ct the same
place, proving that some terrible defect
must exist either in the material or the
construction of the rails. The German
Government directed an inquiry to be
made and q commission Of surveillance
to be formed for the purpose of main
tanning constant watch at the spot
where the accidents-one of them at
tended with loss of life-had occurred.
1t was not, however, until after six
months had elapsed that the surface Of
the rails appeared to be corroded, as if
by acid, to the extent OF 100 yards.
The rail was taken up and broken, and
it was perceived that it was literally
followed out by q thin gray worm, to
which the qualification of "~railoverous"
was assigned, and by which name it is
to be classed in natural history. The
worn is said to be two centimeters in
length and of the size Of the prong of a
silver fork in circumference. 1t is Of a
light gray color, and on the head car
ries two little glands filled with a
corrosive secretion, which is elected
every ten minutes upon the iron. This
liquid renders the iron soft and spongy,
and Of the color Of rust, and it is then
greedily devoured by the insect. "Tbere
is no exaggeration," says the official
report of the commission, Gin the asser-
ton that this creature, for its size, is
n of the most voracious kind, for it
has devoured thirty-six k~ilogrammes OF
rail in a fortnight. cologne Gazette.

Old California Hotels,

Il was in California during the stir
ring days of 1872" said an old, tall,
lank minstrel nj who has been in
Australia for the last twenty years, and
who recently returned to this country
to die, being afflicted with nm incurahle
disease. II was IA years old or So" he
went on to d reporter of the Syracuse
Standard, "and q hanger-on at my
uncle's mining camp. We ran into
San Francisco frequently, and ! shall
never forget the attractions which two
rival hotels offered to the public to
eclipse the others patronage. One of
them was known as the Clean Shirt
and the other as the Golden Eagle.
The Clean Shirt started with q small
n e.horse brass-band concert on the
balcony every evening, and drew big
crowds, including about all the Golden
Eagles guests. Pretty soon, however,
the Clean Shirt began to lose her
boarders by the score without any APP
parent II The proprietor en-
larged his Grassland and polished up
his Lar without effect. 1t did not take
him long to find out hat tho Golden
Eagle was having nightly cooking
mains and dog-fights for the exclusive
benefit of her guests. Then the Clean
Shirt got back part of her custom by
introducing private prize fights and
smuggling matches. It's a fact, gentle
men, that when miners and others had
personal differences to settle they used
to offer their services to the proprietor
of the Clean Shirt, who paid we'll for
a fight, the money going to the winner.
OF course these exhibitions were given
in private quarters and none but guests
and their friends were admitted. The
Golden Eagle next enhanced it's attract
iveness by knocking out one end of its
dining-room aud building on o stage
and a green-room and other like access
series, and had variety performances at
every meal. Women were scarce in
that part of the country and the Golden
Eagles half-dozen s~erio-comics, which
came on from the Lord knows where,
proved q great card, q better one than
the Clean Shirt with all its ingenuity
could play. One day, however, a des-
perado went into the Clean Shirt and
shot a bartender, a phenomenon which
made her famous and placed her far
ahead of the Golden Eagle in the esti-
nation of the travelling public. But
the proprietor of the Eagle was an in
genious, enterprising cuss and saw his
opportunity. He headed a gang which
went out and captured the murderer,
and, bringing him back strung him up
on the dining room stage one evening
at supper, and all the guests, transient
and permanent, were accorded the
privilege of firing their revolvers at his
dangling body. That was q great day
for Golden Eagle. One shot accident
ally went through the head of a waiter,
and the entertainment far exceeded the
proprietor's most sanguine expecta.

Gen. Houston's Falsehood.

The vote Of Gen. Houston in the
United States Senate on the repeal of
the Missouri compromise rendered him
temporarily unpopular in Texas. In
the political campaign following he
drew large crowds as usual wherever
he spoke on the hustings, but was
sometimes interrupted. On one occa-
sion a local politician, Col. - (csll
him Thompson), gave the old veteran
the lie direct in the middle Of a speech.
Tho General paused; all eyes were
upon him, and every n was curious
to see how the hero Of San Jacinto
would resent the wanton insult. He
said promptly and very deliberately

The Georgian and His Melon.

The true Georgia epicurean never
approaches q watermelon until he has
turned his back upon the etfete civili-
zation of the city. The slaughter of
the melon represents a sacrifice which
is as much out of place at q dinner
table as o dish of deviled crabs at q
satyr's feast. 1t is an idyl of the fields
that becomes a very dreary thing, in
deed, robbed of its surroundings. The
preparations for the simple ceremony
are few. One must go into the patch
at early dawn, when the dew on the
grass is heavy enough to wet his
trousers nearly to the knees, and
stealthily, even though committing no
trespass-but If it be q trespass 80
much the better-remove o melon to
the pellucid bottom of a spring. At
about IL o'clock, when the sun is high
and the heat is trembling along the
surface of the field, he should quietly
carry his prize over to o snake fence,
under the shade Of q persimmon tree,
and, having drawn a iack-knife's blade
only rind-deep longitudinally around
the melon, thump the latter upon the
top rail until the inner structure is rup-
tured. A pious man will lift his soul
in prayer when the luscious red inte-
rior, full of black eyes, is exposed, but
this is not usually considered necessary.
The officiating priest then seats him
self fiat aground and prepares for the
final ceremony. Never in his life does
q man feel the need Of company less
than at such o moment. A melon in
varisbly divides with o hollow in n
half and q great bullying cliff of meat
in the other. If there be company
present, the struggle that ensues be-
tween appetite and p~oliteness scars the
soul beyond repair. No man living
ever rendered the fat half of q melon
to another, and reserved for himself
the hollow delusion. but felt his ex-
istence embittered. No, absolute soli-
tude at this critical moment is the
greatest boon that can be conferred; in
fact, it is necessary to the harmony of
the ;dyl. II he re alone, the epicure,
as our Boston friend would call him,
prizes ont hunks of red meat with his
knife, and uses his fingers after the
primitive manner of the true child Of
the soil to convey them to his mouth;
and as he eats, being skilled, the black
seeds drop from the corner Of his mouth
upon the bosom of the grand old
moth r earth, and the Mocking bird,
balanced upon the topmost branch far
above him, furnishes the hidden music
for the feast.--Macon Telegraph.
